Abstract: We show that if $ \mu$ is a reversible measure for simple random walk on rooted trees whose branches are covers of finite connected directed graphs, then $ \mu$ is supported on rooted covers of finite connected undirected graphs. For a given finite connected directed graph $ G$ and a cover $ T$ of $ G$, we give an algorithm to determine whether there exists a finite connected undirected graph whose cover has a branch isomorphic to $ T$.
