If you hiked most of the trails of HH including the lower trail from Old Mans Cave to Cedar Falls you will have no issues at Turkey Run. There are a couple trails with a lot of steps but nothing extremely strenuous. I've always said Indiana rates each trail one rating tougher than they really are. I love both parks and try to hit each every summer.
X2 on camperforlife's comments. Hiking is great at both locations, and if you were OK at Hocking Hills, you'll be fine at Turkey Run. The only suggestion I'd add is that you fill your fresh water tank at home before heading to Turkey Run. Last time we were there, the sulfur content of the local water was really high. It took us several weeks and a couple of tank flushes to get the smell of rotten eggs out of our water... especially the shower. Beautiful park, though. You might also consider doing some hiking at Shades State Park which is just down the road from Turkey Run. It's another great park for hiking.
