**Vida** is an [unincorporated community](/source/Unincorporated_area) in [Lane County](/source/Lane_County,_Oregon), [Oregon](/source/Oregon), United States. It is located on [Oregon Route 126](/source/Oregon_Route_126) and the [McKenzie River](/source/McKenzie_River_(Oregon)).[2]

Vida was originally named "Gate Creek", but this caused confusion with a community of "Gates Creek" in [Washington County](/source/Washington_County,_Oregon), so the name of the postmaster's daughter was selected instead.[2] The Vida post office was established on April 12, 1898.[2] The postmaster was Francis A. Pepiot.[2]

Vida is home to the historic [Goodpasture Bridge](/source/Goodpasture_Bridge), a [covered bridge](/source/Covered_bridge) that was added to the [National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places) in 1979.[3] It is the second-longest covered bridge in Oregon.[4]
