Aysgarth Falls is a tourist destination on the River Ure, where the beck usually flows down three waterfalls.
But volunteers at the site said low rainfall and high temperatures have reduced the falls "to just a trickle" of water.
A Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority spokesman said the dryness is a "staggering sight but not unusual".
Keith Pritchard, a volunteer at Aysgarth Falls, said visitors have been asking him where all the water has gone.
He said: "We haven't had any rainfall for several weeks now so it's significantly dried up.
"The water levels are very low at the moment, in particular the upper falls has been reduced to just a trickle."
Figures released by the Met Office show North Yorkshire has experienced below average levels of rainfall since autumn 2021.
Charlotte Moore, 26, from Selby, visits Aysgarth Falls regularly.
She said: "It is sad not being able to see the usual waterfalls.
"Sometimes you can't walk across [the riverbed] so it's quite dry compared to how it usually is."
Boris Todoroe, 30, and Sue Chen, 29, from London, said they were expecting to find a bit more water during their visit.
Boris said: "We saw the falls on Google and it looked a bit more like a waterfall then."
Sue added: "Since I came to the UK five or six years ago, every summer is hotter than the last summer."
