I'd guess your best bet would be to join the American Canoe Association and set up something under thier "paddle America Clubs" umbrella
essentially, they already have the infrastructure set up for most all of what you want to do - certainly if you are considering setting up races, you'd want to look into thier program and insurance coverage I'd think
