We have carried out a comprehensive investigation of magnetic properties of LuFe$_2$O$_4$, using AC susceptibility, DC magnetization and specific heat. A magnetic phase transition around $\sim$236 K was observed with DC magnetization and specific heat measurements, which is identified as a paramagnetic to ferrimagnetic transition based on the nonlinear susceptibility data. Upon further cooling below this temperature, we also observed highly relaxational magnetic behavior: the DC magnetization exhibits history and time dependence, and the real and imaginary part of the AC susceptibility shows large frequency dependence. Dynamic scaling of the AC susceptibility data suggests that this low temperature phase can be described as a reentrant spin glass phase. We also discuss magnetic field dependence of the spin glass transition and aging, memory and rejuvenation effect below the glass transition temperature around 228 K.
